Scotland’s hotels sector benefitted from a starker increase in room rates than usual in May, as the hat-trick of bank holidays helped to boost demand.
Data compiled by Hotstats and analysed by RSM UK shows that occupancy rates of hotels in Scotland rose from 73.2% in April to 77.8% in May, higher than the increase across the rest of the UK.
Average daily rates (ADR) of occupied rooms jumped from £114.32 in April to £136.08 during May in Scotland, while rates of UK hotels increased from £138.38 to £150.12.
